Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Bars

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1/3 cup monk fruit sweetener
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 4 tbsp coconut oil
  • 4 tbsp Greek yogurt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 30 g protein powder

Frosting

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 15 g protein powder
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2–3 tsp almond milk
  • Monk fruit sweetener, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare the baking dish: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a square baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the cookie bars.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, protein powder, monk fruit sweetener, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Add wet ingredients: Incorporate the eggs, melted coconut oil, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract into the dry mixture. Mix until you achieve a smooth, thick batter.
  4. Bake the bars: Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking dish. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the center is puffed and the edges turn golden brown. Remove from oven and cool completely.
  5. Prepare the frosting: While the bars cool, in a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, protein powder, vanilla extract, and almond milk, adding almond milk gradually to reach a spreadable frosting consistency. Sweeten with monk fruit to taste if desired.
  6. Frost and chill: Once the bars are fully cooled, spread the frosting evenly over the top. Slice into 16 squares. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the frosting to set.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to make the frosting smooth and easy to spread.
  • You can substitute almond milk with any other milk alternative if preferred.
  • Adjust the sweetener amounts to your taste preference, especially in the frosting.
  • Store the bars refrigerated for up to 5 days for best freshness.
  • These bars are naturally gluten-free and high in protein, making them a healthy treat option.
